摘要： A mechanism for adjusting an object in terms of its position along a vertical axis, and its rotational orientation about either two orthogonal horizontal axes or about a vertical and a horizontal axis, utilizes a set of electric motors in conjunction with a mechanical guiding structure that substantially restricts the movement of the object to the desired translational and rotational directions.

摘要： A system and method for non-destructive examination of parts using three-dimensional CT imagery. The system comprises a computer controlled x-ray source, a scintillator screen, and an amorphous silicon sensor array, which electronically records and transmits a series of images taken from different angles back to the computer system having a CAD/CAM software program. The part being examined is stored as a CAD/CAM record. The various images from the silicon sensor array are stored in the computer system and reconstructed as a three-dimensional CT image. That CT image is converted to the CAD/CAM coordinate space so a comparison between the CT image and the stored drawing of the part being examined may be made to detect any defects in the part. The overlaid or superimposed images are displayed for an analyst so that determination of a defect and a location can be made.

摘要： An apparatus for detecting the probable existence, location, and type of defects in a workpiece is described. The apparatus includes a sensor subsystem, an optimizer, a control subsystem, and a computer system having a processor and computer readable memory. Sensor subsystem senses a first section of the workpiece and produces signals corresponding to a physical characteristic of the workpiece. The computer system is configured to generate a workpiece model based on the signals produced by the sensor subsystem. In an alternate embodiment, a defect assembler can be provided to merge signals from a plurality of sensor subsystems. The defect assembler can also be configured to generate the workpiece data model. The optimizer is configured to generate workpiece segmentation recommendations based on the workpiece data model. The processor is configured with a first producer thread program which, in response to the receipt of a first set of signals by the computer system, receives a data subscription request from a subsystem which uses data and transmits the signals from the computer readable memory to the generator of the data subscription request. The processor is further configured to generate a second producer thread in response to storage of a second set of signals in the computer readable memory. The second producer thread is configured to receive one of the data subscription requests and selectively send the second set of signals to the generator of the data subscription request. A tracking device for tracking selective kinematics of a workpiece moving through a plant is also disclosed. The tracking device includes an encoder wheel configured to tangentially contact a workpiece and rotate at an angular velocity coincident with the linear velocity of the workpiece. The tracking apparatus further includes a drive mechanism for driving the encoder wheel at a first angular velocity approaching the angular velocity of the encoder wheel which is coincident with the linear velocity of the workpiece. The tracking device also includes a signal generator configured to interact with the encoder wheel and generate a signal in response to the angular velocity of the encoder wheel. The tracking apparatus can be incorporated into the apparatus for detecting defects within a workpiece by providing the signal from the signal generator to the control subsystem.

摘要： In the method of testing a folded-seam connection (2) of a receptacle (1), a sectional image through the folded-seam connection (2) is generated in at least a partial segment (3) of the folded-seam connection (2) by way of an X-ray computer tomographer. The device for executing this method has at least one computer-tomography device (CT device) that has at least one X-ray source (10) and one X-ray detector (11). A holding device (30) holds the receptacle (1) with the folded-seam connection (2) such that at least a partial segment (3) of the folded-seam connection (2) is located in the beam path (S) between the X-ray source (10) and the X-ray detector (11). The holding device (30) and/or the receptacle (1) can rotate relative to the X-ray source (10) with the X-ray detector (11) such that the partial segment (3) of the folded-seam connection (2) is rotated, in at least one angular region (&dgr;), about a first axis of rotation (20) extending through the beam path (S), with the partial segment (3) of the folded-seam connection (2) remaining in the beam path (S).
